Malignant pleural
mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, aggressive form of cancer with limited treatment
options. At the 7th
Hong Kong International Oncology Symposium, Professor Giovanni Luca Ceresoli of
the Cliniche Humanitas Gavazzeni in Bergamo, Italy, presented data and shared
two patient cases on tumour-treating fields (TTFields) – a novel treatment modality and the first new
treatment to be approved for MPM by the US FDA in more than 15 years.
